FAQs

1. Does the IPC-T289H-MU/SL provide true two-way audio without extra equipment?
   Yes. The camera has a built-in dual-microphone array and an integrated speaker, so no additional audio hardware is required. Using the HiLookVision app, users can listen to audio from the camera location and speak through the camera in real time.
2. What activates the blue and red strobe lights?
   The blue and red strobes are triggered by human and vehicle detection events. The camera uses on-board classification to focus on these two target types, helping ensure the strobe responds to relevant activity rather than every movement in the scene. The response can also be controlled through the HiLookVision app.
3. Can this camera be installed outdoors under eaves or soffits?
   Yes. The IP67-rated turret housing is built for outdoor use and can withstand rain, dust, and humidity without additional weatherproofing. Eave and soffit mounting are suitable installation options for this model.
4. What is the night-time identification range with the 2.8 mm lens?
   According to the published DORI data, the camera has an identification distance of 10.9 m and a detection distance of 54.4 m. Its night vision reaches up to 30 m through the IR and hybrid lighting system. For areas where people or vehicles are within around 10–11 m, the 2.8 mm fixed lens can provide useful identification detail.
5. Is this camera compatible with an existing HiLook NVR?
   Yes. The IPC-T289H-MU/SL works with HiLook NVRs, but the recorder requires a firmware update before the camera is added. When upgrading an existing system, update the NVR firmware first to ensure proper compatibility.
6. Does Smart Hybrid Lighting always record in colour at night?
   No. The system automatically switches between IR and warm white light depending on the scene. Colour night footage is captured when the warm white light is active. In complete darkness or when IR mode is selected by the camera, footage may appear in greyscale.
7. Can the audio alarm be customised?
   Yes. The available product information confirms support for a customisable audio alarm. Alarm settings and deterrence responses can be managed through the HiLookVision app, along with live view, event alerts, and arm or disarm controls.
